Éder Militão is working hard to return to the pitch, leaving no stone unturned in his recovery from a severe ACL injury sustained in November 2024.

The Brazilian defender has been grinding at Valdebebas with Real Madrid’s medical staff, rarely missing a session.

But rehab isn’t just about gym workouts and physiotherapy.

A few weeks ago, club specialists took him on a challenging yet refreshing training hike in the Madrid mountains.

Joined by his dedicated physio Jaime Salom and his girlfriend, Militão completed a three-hour trek from San Lorenzo de El Escorial to the Cruz de Rubens (1,617m).

The hike wasn’t just for fresh air—it was an intense session focusing on balance, weight distribution, and knee stability.

Recent reports indicate the Brazilian is set to return to ball training after the international break, meaning we could see him back before the season ends.
